Chapter 31 Attention from Mendes
The moment the ball flew toward the goal, Torres felt that the ball was a sure shot.
Even the Chelsea fans huddled in a corner of the stadium thought this goal would definitely be scored.
Everyone stood up and was about to burst into cheers.
Unexpectedly, after the ball passed over Schmeichel's left hand, it hit the goal post with a "ding" sound and bounced out!
The left back Jeffrey Schlupp, who was returning to defense, did not give the Chelsea players a chance to shoot, and immediately cleared the ball out of the sideline.
Seeing this, the cheers of thousands of Chelsea fans in the stadium suddenly turned into a lament.
Witnessing with my own eyes that the ball did not go into the goal, but popped out of the center post, Torres was stunned on the spot with a look of disbelief on his face.
Even Mourinho on the sidelines couldn't help but put his head in his hands.
An inexplicable thought suddenly appeared in my mind:
"If it were Didier (Drogba), this ball would definitely be scored."
His tactical system has always needed someone who can serve as a fulcrum in the frontcourt and can carry the ball back. A support center who can play with the ball and fight with opposing defenders.
It's a pity that neither Eto'o nor Torres is such a center.
The regret and helplessness in my heart are only short-lived.
He immediately calmed down and applauded the players' quick counterattack to express his approval:
"Good goal!"
"Well done!"
"That's it!!"
Compared with the regrets of Chelsea players and fans, Leicester City The players and fans were shocked.
Some older fans in the stands quickly took out quick-acting heart-saving pills and took two to relieve their shock.
Ling Feng, who returned to the back line, looked at Torres and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in his heart:
He is indeed a Blue Army guard!
The way of clearing the siege was so thrilling
Although the result of this counterattack was a false alarm,
it was just a passing error that almost caused the ball to be conceded.
This shows how sharp Chelsea's counterattack is!
Ling Feng became more determined in his inner thoughts:
If you want to win Chelsea at home, you must not give them a chance to counterattack!
Even though I am a little dissatisfied with the accuracy of Dean Hammond's pass.
But Ling Feng did not complain about his teammates.
After all, as a midfielder, it is normal to try to pass threatening balls.
It is normal to make mistakes in passing the ball.
He is not the kind of pressure monster who likes to complain to his teammates.
However, Ling Feng's silence does not mean that others will not speak up.
Captain Morgan took a few strides and came to Dean Hammond, saying in a deep voice:
"Dean, your pass just now was too casual!"
"You should give the ball to Ling to organize!"
Facing Morgan's huge pressure like a dark iron tower Dean Hammond, who knew that he was in the wrong, did not dare to refute.
Who knows that he is a newcomer who has just transferred. He has a low status in the team and is undervalued.
He just nodded silently and apologized:
"I know, this ball is mine."
Seeing him admitting his mistake, Morgan didn't talk too much. He reached out and patted the opponent on the shoulder, then turned and left.
After the kick-off from the sideline, Chelsea right winger William passed the ball back to the backcourt and tried to organize another attack.
However, Leicester City is not afraid of turning into a positional battle.
After all, the two central defenders are both types with excellent frontal interception capabilities and air defense. They are not afraid of high-altitude balls or crosses from the wing at all. In the end, there was really no space to pass the ball, and Lampard's long shot from outside the penalty area declared that the attack was in vain.
Next, the court once again returned to a stalemate where you attack and I defend.
Leicester City steadily controls the ball, cautiously passing short passes to each other, and not making direct or long passes easily;
Chelsea, on the other hand, retreats with all players and presses from time to time in the frontcourt. .
As Leicester City's number of passes continues to increase, the ball possession rate has even soared to 80%!
However, most passes are short passes between players, with very few forward through balls or long passes.
Both sides seem to have an inexplicable tacit understanding, and it seems that no one intends to break this balanced situation.
As time passed little by little, the game became a little dull.
However, Leicester City fans are very accepting of their team being able to tie with Chelsea at home.
They started singing in the stadium stands and playing human waves
. . .
“Beep~~Beep~~~”
As Paul Tierney’s whistle sounded, the first half came to an end!
Mourinho trotted and ran into the player tunnel first.
Pierson, on the other hand, was waiting for his players to walk off the court and high-fived them one by one.
It can be seen from the smile on his face that he is satisfied with his team's performance in the first half.
At the same time, Chelsea fans were in the stands.
Jorge Mendes, who was dressed in a black suit, stared at the black-haired young man wearing the blue jersey No. 23 on the court, his eyes thoughtful.
Jorge Mendes, Portuguese, is one of the most famous agents in football today.
Our customers include Cristiano Ronaldo, Di Maria, Falcao, Pepe and other famous stars, covering clubs of all sizes in the five major leagues.
In addition to a large number of stars, he is also the agent of "Madman" Mourinho.
Originally, the reason why Mendes appeared at the King Power Stadium was to discuss transfer signings with Mourinho in this winter window.
Unexpectedly, I discovered Ling Feng’s unexpected surprise!
Ling Feng only used his half-time performance to attract his attention.
Judging from the vicious eyes of Mendes' professional football agent, this young man from Leicester City definitely has the potential to become a superstar!
Being young means full of unlimited potential;
Being handsome means that the commercial value will not be low;
Being good at football means having the opportunity to join a wealthy club and win competitive honors;
< br>And he has a local household registration in England. Such a potential star will definitely become a hot commodity for local agents in England.
“But how can those unprofessional guys compare with me?!”
In Mendes' view, even if Ling Feng had an agent, he would use his reputation and connections to convince Ling Feng to switch to his own staff.
If Ling Feng doesn’t have an agent yet, that would be even better, just get a big deal!
Thinking of this, Mendes raised his eyebrows, immediately took out his phone and dialed a number:
"Hey, Santos, you will help me investigate a player right now. "
"No. 23 of the English Championship team Leicester City, the pronunciation of his name is a bit strange, called Ling Feng."
"Investigate who his agent is, as well as his background and contract."
In less than ten minutes, Mendes obtained all the information about Ling Feng through his strong intelligence network and connections.
From how old he was when he entered Leicester City’s youth training, to how many people he has in his family, contract salary and liquidated damages, etc.,
Among them, Mendes is most excited. Naturally, Ling Feng has no news about his agent yet!
